About the Squadron patch

Hat Tip to: CAP Historian (and former Ohioan) Col. Frank Blazich Jr. and "Heraldry of the Ohio Wing of the Civil Air Patrol" ©2014

The eagle in flight represents freedom, authority, and the power of the squadron to conduct missions for America. A red background symbolizes the speed and strength of the squadron’s ability to handle emergency services in support of the group, wing, Civil Air Patrol, and United States Air Force. Gold lettering and border is representative of the prosperity and wisdom of the squadron membership in their efforts to maintain proficiency in flying and conducting missions. The Latin motto of the Civil Air Patrol, Semper Vigilans, reminds all who wear the patch that they remain "always vigilant" for volunteer missions and opportunities.
